Event Details
The State of Michigan is a geologist paradise. Nearly the entire history of Earth is on display, from 3.6-billion-year-old gneisses to potholes drilled by modern rivers. Michigan Rocks! guides the reader to 56 world-class geologic sites scattered from Isle Royale and the Upper Peninsula to Lower Michigan, making this the perfect field guide for amateur and expert geologists alike, and everyone in between. Join geologist and award-winning author Paul Brandes for a presentation on how the book came together, take a virtual visit to selected sites, and a show and tell period using some of the rocks included in the book. Paul will be available to sign books. Books will be for sale for $20. Cash only.
Michigan Rocks! is a 2024 Michigan Notable Book!
